Several British newspapers have turned their eyes on Argentina arguing that the challenging situation faced by President Cristina Fernandez both domestically and internationally is making her increasingly take advantage of the Falkland Islands dispute as a smokescreen to mask domestic failings.

Oct 09th, 2012 - 06:28 am - Link - Report abuse 0......and there was me thinking that the U.K has got it bad. Just goes to prove that there is always someone else who is worse off than you are.
and it just keeps on getting better and better:-
Vice-President Amado Boudou, hand picked by her, is charged with influence peddling and embezzlement. But rather than take action against him, the Argentine government response was to expropriate the money printing house at the heart of the accusations.
WOW!! they've got all the boxes ticked don't they?
2...better than the RG state run media!!! i wonder which one is giving us a clearer picture.

Its a difficult one, again the clues in WORDS
When Menendez goes on record and admits it, there has got to be a strong element of truth in the articles

Oct 09th, 2012 - 09:50 am - Link - Report abuse 0@8 And what is the UK “stealing”. For your information, the Falkland Islands belonged to Britain for for 120 years before your tinpot, genocidal colony rebelled. Likewise, South Georgia belonged to Britain for 45 years before your tinpot genocidal colony rebelled. The South Sandwich Islands have been British since before you summoned up the courage to go where it was cold. The same for the British Antarctic Territory. On that last, your claim is inside ours. You remember what happens when we have a “disagreement” don't you? You get your arses kicked. As I recall, in our last little “disagreement” over 12,000 argies got their arses kicked. Some of them got their arses kicked to death. Is your memory so short? Want us to do it again? How do you fancy cemetaries and memorials in every village, town, city and province in argieland? Perhaps you should start marking out the plots now. Five or ten square miles should be enough! There won't be any more argie cemetaries on the Falkland Islands. If you don't take your trash back, we'll dump it in the ocean!

Nonsense! The claim is a state policy and wil remain so until UN resolutions are fully implemented.

I hear the argentines have made a claim of sovereignty for the ground beneath their feet, down to the earth's core and out the otherside. Yep, they've put in a claim for China. Fools, everyone knows China is british to the core!

However, everyone in the world knows of this Argentine governments tactics, and it's getting stale. Maybe they need to come up with a new angle. I know, what about blaming the evil Ghanians for taking their flag ship! LOL

Oct 10th, 2012 - 03:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Except Argentina who are exempt from UN resolutions, ie 502 which they ignored.
But it is OK for Argentina to ignore the UN but not the UK according to you lot. This is why you are too untrustworthy to talk to.
If you had complied with that resolution it would have put a lot more pressure on the UK, but as you did not it helped the UK a lot.
The resolutions regarding Argentina and the UK both state Independence as the ideal solution and state that the Islanders interests are taken into account.
Well, unlike colonialist Argentina would, the UK has ceded more autonomy to the FIs since 1982 and operate in the Islanders interests.
According to Argentina it is in the Islanders interests that their ships are not allowed in Argentine ports and it is in the Islanders interests that the Argentine government refuses (double speak for being too shitless scared to talk to the islanders) to talk to the Islanders.
But this might be interpreted differently by the UN, if ther Islanders were to speak up more and flood Ban Ki Moon with letters.
